Optional features
This section describes the optional features available when you purchase your C5m/F5m.
Mobile broadband with GPS
You can purchase a C5m/F5m Tablet PC with an optional embedded mobile broadband
module that enables you to connect to a variety of mobile broadband networks for sending
and receiving data wirelessly. You can typically use mobile broadband anywhere you can
use your mobile phone. Mobile broadband is based on cellular network technology, so you
can use it in more places than other localized wireless technologies.
The mobile broadband module includes Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) support.
The GNSS receiver uses GPS and GLONASS satellites to determine the current location,
altitude, heading, and horizontal velocity of the C5m/F5m. You don’t need a network
connection or an account with a mobile broadband network carrier to use the GNSS
receiver. You can use it with your preferred mapping applications to find your current and
desired locations.
For information on setting up mobile broadband, see Using Mobile Broadband with GNSS
on page 44.
Discrete GPS with WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS (optional)
Your tablet may have an embedded discrete Global Positioning System (GPS) module that
supports the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) for improved accuracy in the United
States; European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) for improved accuracy
in Europe; and Multi-functional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) for improved
accuracy in Japan. The augmentation feature uses signals from geostationary satellites to
improve on the reliability and accuracy of the signals from the GPS satellites. The proper
Augmentation system will be detected based on your location. No special selection is
required. You don’t need a network connection or an account with a mobile broadband
network carrier to use the augmented GPS receiver. You can use it with your preferred
mapping applications to find your current and desired locations.
Security
Your C5m/F5m includes several features that you can use to enhance the security of your
data and serve as the foundation for complementary security technologies. The core
security features include a built-in fingerprint reader, password-protected BIOS, networking
control, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2, and optional Computrace® Complete tracking
software.
WinMagic® SecureDoc™
WinMagic SecureDoc is an application that you can use to encrypt your hard drive. This
application is included with your C5m/F5m Tablet PC and must be enabled to activate. For
additional information, Using WinMagic® SecureDoc™ on page 51.
Chapter 1 Getting Started Optional features 8
TPM
With the built-in TPM and Infineon Security Platform Tools, you can create and manage
digital certificates, user and device authentication, full disk data encryption, and restricted
network access. These features are most commonly used by enterprises and enabled by the
system administrator. To download and install TPM, go to go to http://
www.motioncomputing.com/us/support/downloads, select your Tablet PC model and
operating system, and then tap Show Results. Scroll down to the Trusted Platform
Module (TPM) Software section and select the download link.
Absolute Computrace®
The C5m/F5m Tablet PC can be purchased with the optional Absolute Computrace®, which
offers enhanced data protection, improved IT asset management, and managed computer
theft recovery. With Computrace, organizations can track, manage, and secure their entire
